At Bayview Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine Clinic, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Physiotherapist frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many individuals seek help from Physiotherapist, their physiotherapist, when knee pain, especially when going up/down stairs or after a run starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve improved circulation and tissue healing, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like managing the physical demands of their job without constant pain.
• Through personalized physiotherapy at Physiotherapist's clinic, common concerns like feeling unsteady on my feet or experiencing dizziness and balance problems are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of better managing flare-ups with personalized strategies and feeling more in control of their symptoms. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like using garden tools effectively and without pain.
• For those whose swelling in my arm or leg, possibly lymphedema, after surgery or treatment has made travelling more comfortably on planes, trains, or in cars for longer durations seem like a distant memory, Physiotherapist's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward improved ability to lift and carry objects correctly and safely. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to travelling more comfortably on planes, trains, or in cars for longer durations with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
• Discover how physiotherapy with Physiotherapist can help you move beyond feeling like my joints are just 'wearing out' and getting harder to move. The focus is on improved coordination for complex movements and fine motor tasks, enabling a joyful return to the activities you love, such as working at their desk all day without developing back or neck stiffness.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Physiotherapist, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

What is Bayview Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine Clinic's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling.

A fee may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Definitely. A key aspect of physiotherapy is not just treating current problems but also preventing future ones. A Physiotherapist can assess your movement, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances that could lead to injury, and provide you with a personalized program of exercises and strategies. This proactive approach is beneficial for athletes, individuals with physically demanding jobs, or anyone looking to maintain long-term musculoskeletal health and avoid recurring pain.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?

Patients in Ontario can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral. However, some private/extended health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization), but eligibility criteria are strict. Check your private insurance for coverage.
